Sick Person Shopping

aseFriday evening I did something I should have done two days ago: I came home, and took a nap. It helped. Today I slept in crazy late, read lots of Laurie King's latest Mary Russell novel, and bribed myself into cycling by ordering takeout dumplings and soup. I am very low-key when I am sick. (The CDC tells me I probably do not have H1N1, so I don't plan to hassle my doctor to test me for it. I'm sort of sad! Even my diseases aren't dramatic.)
I think I have found my Platonic ideal of a handbag: the LeSportsac Deluxe Everyday. I passionately desire the "Kenya" zebra print, even as I wonder, "gee, isn't that kind of a sketchy name?" and scold myself for buying into the handbag racket. I'm waiting for this to go on sale for something under $55, and then I'm raiding my checking account. I feel extremely silly, but the bag should last for a year or more, and will score me girl points at work. Also, delayed gratification means I can change my mind later if I want to talk myself out of spending money.
